Snowflower Lodge is a magnificent North Lake Tahoe vacation home nestled on Tahoe's coveted West Shore on its own large secluded parcel. This North Shore vacation rental sits in an ideal location, just minutes from Tahoe City. Situated amongst towering pines on multiple acres of undeveloped land, Snowflower Lodge allows for hiking, mountain biking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling minutes from the home. This vacation lodge is dog-friendly and its ample trails and wooded areas nearby will keep furry friends and their owners entertained for days.
In the summer months, Snowflower Lodge is just a short drive or a bike ride from the West Shore lakefront, beach access, boat ramps, and kayak or boat rentals.
